[QUOTE="quadro, post: 780626, member: 12850"] I did mention it somewhere in a post. Or at least implied that you have to be back by a certain time. I think it's interesting that you make the blanket statement that FedEx doesn't want you staying out late because they don't want to pay overtime. FedEx pays overtime every single day. It couldn't possibly be at least part of the reason that FedEx doesn't want you out that late is for safety reasons could it? I know you'll disagree with that because even when FedEx does something right, you turn it into a negative. Once again, let's look at the math. If your 195 says you can do 75 stops after 1030, take a 30 min break, and be back by 1600, your goal is 15 stops per hour. If the return time for the pickup routes is 1800, you can easily do another 20 stops and be back on time. If, however, you leave with 95 stops and your manager tries to make you take another 25 stops on top of that putting you back at 1900, you simply cannot do it. If you point that out before leaving the building and the manager says take it anyway then all you have to do is have the route next to you witness the conversation, send some messages during the day that you need help and when you don't get it, come back in at 1800 and have about 15 unattempted stops. As I said before, the manager can try to make it about you but they won't get very far as you did nothing wrong. As long as you hit your goal you'll have all the ammo you need to show you did the right thing. Falsification and working through breaks becomes the norm when you either cannot hit your goal or you just don't want to work as late as the amount of work dictates. Or you are simply too lazy to do it right. [/QUOTE]
